[bug-gawk] Segfault on invalid program

  A couple of years ago I went through a phase
 of fuzz-testing gawk.

  Having seen the recent announcement of GNU
 awk 5.0 I gave it a go, but at least one issue
 I reported to debian remains unfixed:

    https://bugs.debian.org/816277

  From the bug-report this is my sample program:

    gawk -e "for (i = ) in foo bar baz"

  Simple patch attached to the bug-report, though
 it might not be the best.   I appreciate invalid
 programs are invalid, but I think a segfault is 
 something we should prevent.
